High-Tech Glove could help the deaf-blind people send text messages

History says that, there is a Braili format which is used to educate or to understand the messages or to write something for others. But, now we are in technological world. So, we have to give them a certain less efforts to deliver or to send information easily to other people. So, let's see the history and latest technologies for the deaf-blind people..

Earlier :

In German-speaking countries, deaf-blind people use a " tactile alphabet " called "Lorm" to communicate with one another, which involves a series of motions on the hand.


Problems with Lorm :

Problem with Lorm, though, is that few people understand it. This means that people who are both deaf and blind are often limited to communicating with others who understand Lorm.

So, in order to reduce this problems, scientists invented a new technology. So, let's see what it is...


What's the new technology...???

New technology aims to help them communicate more easily with people who don't understand Lorm. Researchers in Berlin are developing in mobile Lorm Glove, with which deaf-blind people can transmit Lorm to text on a computer or mobile device.

Working of Hand Gloves :

A deaf-blind people can run his/her fingers across sensors on the glove's palm, just as she would on a normal hand. The sensors pick up on the Lorm and then translate those tactile motions into text.

The communication is then sent as a text message to receivers smart phone, For example : The transmitting occurs via Bluetooth.

Conversely, the receiver can then send a message back to the glove. It works just like a normal text message, but there are small vibrating motors on the back of the glove.

The text is then translated in Lorm and communicated via vibrations.

The mobile Lorm Glove could allow deaf-blind people to make more connections and communicate with more than one person at a time.


Final Words....!!!

The Glove is still a prototype but has already had practical applications in the real world. May be it'll be soon in the manufacturing process.
